Reflections of "I am American"...hmmm. I have to embody that one. I feel as though I am in the midst of a time warp. Like we are moving so fast that we (culture) are feeling we are loosing the very essence of who and what we WERE in this country. Times are changing and I don't think many are ready for it on an emotional level.

To those who are bad reflections of a go along to get along take, and/or who didn't or don't contrast an education with mere indocrination, all we can do is hope for the best/prepare for the worst..Not much we can do, if others aren't able or willing to listen and to learn, quit living in time warps, because time does move on...and so must we all...FYI

I'm a westsider and actually grew up in the suburbs, though I come from blue collar (field) roots...Illusions bred of sentimental takes lead to some house wannabes wondering, 'why yall don't accept me as your own', as though the Clarence Thomas louses aren't the norm...Some are even worse! And it's the white preps I had gripes about anyway...FYI

Grass roots! Solid, powerful and grounded. White preps. I believe every human being no matter the experiences or color of skin have those that are difficult to accept. My vision is collective, global unity. I don't know why I feel or sense this is the wave of the future and we (culturally) are grasping at straws amongst this shift.

I came on the "raw"? I wasn't that cold was I? I left some skin. That was not my "raw" energy, I had to respect this site and Destee's vision, I wouldn't have gotten that scathing. - No most are not accustomed to my "raw" energy but it amazes me how others love to see it come to the surface. Ugh. Choosing the higher rode is not always that easy but I am pretty good at it for a mintue.

It's a tale of two cities...Detroit's eastside is the oldest part of the city...Blacks there also had or had to cope and deal near rich white folk....Blacks were and are recent to it's west side...It's white wannabes bailed by the seventies...Though they are near a number of less well off (though more pretensive) whites too...Bruh just expected too much...FYI...

I am very familiar with Detroit. Intimately. That is why I left. I didn't care for the energies. I can understand intellectually where Keme is trying to come from but truthfully is anger, pain, disappointment and desired out come clash with the reality of what IS. He's suffering from pain and is lashing out to others in lieu of that truth.

Kemey plays the 'unappreciated/badly misunderstood' role sometimes...He actually comes form humble origins, like other wannabes he expected to become a 'somebody'...He has yet to face up to what he got (rather than didn't) out of the deal...Leave him be...Too much 'drama'....FYI...

Keme plays the blazing tunnel visioned, anal, arrogant soul. It's annoying simply because his whole deliverance is like a train wreck with no brakes! If he could muster up some actually humility and true vision we might be able to discuss issues with this dude. Trust I have no desires to shred this man. Not my issue, it's simply as you put it, HIS.
